So i decided to build a few open air frames.

I am planning to build one like that of openrigs.com.

Searching for plastic corner joints for square aluminium pipes which would make the assembling much more modular and easier. I might take some time as I am in the process of shifting flats. Sad

And yes it will be stackable.

Took some old desktop case cut them from all around and here we have open case aire flowing from all around..

Its a nice, clean and simple DIY frame. Liquid immersed cooling solution is new for me. Keep us posted.

Looking through this project, its interesting to note that Hardware projects seem to require lesser investment than Software at the same level.

i know there's something profound in here, somewhere

hopefully one day, i'll better understand

Great work..

Hope you guys built a case which will beat the dopamine 6 GPU case in style

never saw this before
looks great. gives me some idea for my closed frame build. I think the hanging down setup for the gpu might work

Looking good.
I will build a frame too one day but for now my big fan blowing directly at my GPUs is good enough lol.

where did u buy those frames ?

Made the frame my self.

thats great. if you are building a second one, try square-tube alluminium. it'll give more sturdiness and also better visual appeal.
but this one looks great for DIY. i'll be making two next week, but not by myself. found a metal works shop to do it for me. one is open frame and another is a closed frame with better ventilation and protection from dust with custom dust filters. with the summer coming near, i don't think the closed frame will work better, but i'm doing it just as an experiment. will post pics when it gets delivered

I did make one with the Square tube but the problem with that was, drilling the hole for the board to fit, and adding other attachment was a bit of a problem. Anyways the V-rod is quite sturdy i was able to sit on it and held quite sturdy. :-)

Yeh with the summers coming it is better to stick with a open air with a heat catch exhaust vent.

Well!! with the gpu heating up i decided to to build a open air rig.

My plan is to stack up the six rigs on top of each other and connect each rig to a heat exhaust fan going through the roof.

this is my first prototype. (does not house a PSU)

Working on other prototypes too.

The second protype will be a one that can house two 1200w PSU

I will publish the build details and schematics once i have determined which one would work better.

And a Third prototype is a experimental liquid immersed cooling solution, using a few different types of liquids to immerse the entire hardware in it. {might make this one around August.}
